Hotel Saint Cecilia

Hotel Saint Cecilia was created in honor of the patron saint of music and poetry and takes inspiration from the great era of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when a revolution of rock and roll and beat poetry overran the hallowed halls of established convention. The most notable feature of this hotel is its 50-foot heated lap pool, open to guests twenty-four-seven!

Each of the five suites, six poolside bungalows, and three studios embodies an equal love for the elegance of old-world luxury, and the secluded property is only open to hotel guests for optimal privacy. Other amenities include a lounge, retail store, and a covered terrace perfect for an intimate meal, cocktail party, or business meeting.
